The mother said that her partner’s parents want an “exaggerated” time with her first grandchild. Her own parents can only see the child once a month because of how much time her future in -laws require.
Comparison of the situation with their childhood recalled OP to see a set of her grandparents for a few months and the other once every 3-4 weeks.
“I feel that I don’t get enough time every day with my child (and on the weekends when I’m not working) and it’s honest that I feel bitter against them and my partner,” she said.
“They save money without having to pay for day care, which I am grateful for,” the mother continued. “I just don’t get why they insist on seeing her on weekends too.”
“I was annoyed at my partner about it and it caused a disagreement,” she said. “He does not think it is exaggerated or anything, but that they just want to see their grandchild, even if it means less time as a family we spend together.”
After acknowledging that she doesn’t “f — ing gets it,” the mother asked, “Aita (am I a ——) for not having them all the time?”
The answers to the post agreed with the mother that her partner’s parents were unreasonable with the time they expected with their child.

Several comments claimed that her partner should talk to them about it.
“Your bf (boyfriend) is really happy not to have to take care of their child on the weekends, so the child goes to his mother/father,” one person said. “He will not say no to his parents for that reason, more than likely.”
“Simply tell your Future ILS (in -laws) that you really appreciate childcare they provide during the week but that you will no longer care them when you are free and do not work so that you can enjoy your child to fully,” continued the same person.
“NTA (not a ——)) agreement directly with ILS. However, your bf must get to parenting before you get married,” they added. “Make sure he understands that he will need to be available to his child when he is at work.”
